关于布兰卡

布兰卡瓦尔布埃纳

这些总是很有趣写. Hmmm…about me. 出生于哥伦比亚, 移居美国的 1987. 当我降落在迈阿密, all I knew how to say was “Mi no spiki inglich” and “pollito-chicken, 加利纳编, lapiz铅笔, pluma-pen).

It took me a few years of teasing by virtually every kid in school to finally figure out the proper pronunciation of the word “school”, 这SCH声音很艰难.

又到罗格斯大学与进入法理念, 但我花了一个艺术史类,并坠入爱河. 可悲的是, 我发现服用相当多的朝着这一专业课程后艺术史学家真的不使那么多钱.

我在诺德斯特龙找到了一份工作,以支付房租, where I learned a lot about customer service (thanks Arnold & Nick) and auditing (thanks Ang).

然后,我结束了在葡萄酒和烈酒的世界. 我做了我轮与百加得, 然后移动到酒用美妙的一家名为海岸经纪商. 这是我的爱酒被凝成.

某处在这个时间之间, 皮蒂 走进我的生活. Best thing ever!

在这段时间, 有人鼓励我去Match.com. 我遇到的人谁将会成为我生活和商业合作伙伴的爱的存在, 安东尼奥·埃文斯. 不久, we were sounding quite a bit like Pinky & the Brain as we plotted ways to take over the world.

    Hi Blanca,

    I have been reading about you house built in Portugal, and is very interested in your story, as me and my girlfriend is moving to Portugal to build a house.

    I am Danish and she is Portuguese, but have not lived in Portugal for several years, and now we have made the decision of moving to Portugal.

    We are very curious about your process and experience, and would very much hope to meet you guys.

    We hope to hear from you.

    Kind regards
    Monica and Michael

    Hi Blanca,

    I’m having trouble finding travel insurance with a medical component to satisfy the Portuguese SEF’s requirement to qualify for the temporary residence visa because of my age (80).
    Any tips?

      Hi Tony, I may have someone who can help you. Just sent them an email. Will ping you once I hear back 🙂

    Great, thanks Blanca. We found a company on line called Fidelidade and they have an option: 60+ActivCare which simulation with our data produced a quote of 456€/year but it gives no information about its limit and, as you know, SEF requires a minimum of 30000€ coverage.
    Listening out for your reply then.
    Cumprimentos!

    Following up on my last message, I found out that the plan I mentioned, 60+ ActivCare 2 is actually a discount card and not an insurance policy.

    Thanks Blanca. 与此同时, however we found an Argentine insurance company online, asegurasuviaje.com, which gave us a very attractive quotation and when submitted to the Consulate in Washington, met with their approval. So one less hurdle to cross, except they answered us adding that we should no longer contact them directly but contact VFSGLOBAL who will be handling all visa application enquiries and processing in future via: vfsglobal.com/portugal/usa.

      I’m thrilled to hear it, Tony. Lots of paperwork and lots of stamps to get here, but for me…it was worth it.

    By the way, 布兰卡, that insurance website is: aseguratuviaje.com and NOT asegurasuviaje.com, in case anyone is interested.

    Hello Blanca, many thanks for the article about building your own home in Portugal…we are moving to the LIsbon area in October and am looking to find a plot, get a prefab from Estonia and start a new Chapter. Having lived in England for 35 years and being Swedish married to an Austrian… no need for rainy England no more – went to visit my ‘kids’ in Lisbon a year ago and fell in love! Really like your set up here and very useful info, I work to help people get more life in their life by maximising their inborn potential. Health challenges, pain, not thriving/under performing etc but my passion is working with parents and children to prevent their spines and nervous systems go faulty…due to incorrect use, lack of understanding, etc etc 30 years a Chiropractor specialising in advanced spinal trauma and rehab, injury prevention and optimisation of our life experience by understanding what’s involved. I will be running free workshops for parents ‘Life by design, not by default, how to maximise your childs inborn potential” I would love to meet up to see if there is anything that I can do to help the future generations of Portugal. Many thanks for your time and keep up this amazing work – Thank You, Mats Hansson

      Congrats on the move Mats. Portugal is wonderful and I don’t have enough nice things to say about Lisbon and its people. We (Antonio and I) started the blog to help those who were on a similar journey as we are…we figured if we can help a few people to not make the same mistakes we made when moving to Lisbon, that it would be a good thing. When are you due to move?

      I am most active on Instagram. Google+ was officially shuttered this year. And if you ever have questions, come by and drop a note. We have tons of info and we have a questions section where anyone can ask and answer 🙂 Nice to meet you btw 🙂

    URGENT. Hello Blanca, my Golden Visa was approved earlier this year. I live in Mumbai, 印度, and am desperately looking to start learning the Portuguese language for my A2 level test, which is only about 4 years away. In Mumbai I have not been able to find a Portuguese language teacher for the last 1 year now. I would very much appreciate your help, in giving me a list of books that I could study from, and also some guidance on how to conduct the study. My daughter lives in Lisbon, and I will be visiting her on 13th August for 2 天, as on the 16th of August we will be leaving for the Algarve. On the 20th of August, I will be flying out to London. I would like to buy my books when in Lisbon, so some information on where I can buy them, would also be very useful. Look fwd to hearing from you soon, thanking you.

      Pleased to meet you Anita,

      I started learning with the Memrise app and Duolinguo apps. I supplemented this with the podcast “Portuguese with Carla”. If you want to really learn well, check out my list of European Portuguese classes. Nuno, my teacher is now doing lessons online and I could not be happier.

      These are some of the books we use. You can decide if you want the three-pack or if you just want the books for Level A.

      Hope the list helps.

    布兰卡,

    I just discovered your website and I love it! So many great articles. My partner are considering Portugal as a place to retire. I’ll be following you as we take our journey towards retirement since you have so much helpful information.
    I look forward to reading more about your perspective on life in Lisbon.

    Mike
